Step Forward to Be a
Board Candidate
The 16 volunteers on week one: Christy Lambright, Christopher Corso, Caitlin Corso, Paige Lambright, Dawn Corso, Bill
Martin, Joe Cangelosi, Marge Olson, Jim Brefeld, Tom Pinkowski, Sr., Steve Johnson, Seth Lambright, Steve Lambright, Bob
McHoes. And sitting on dumpster, Jacob Stites (high school friend of Seth Lambright).
There was a great turnout of volunteers and helpers
this past Saturday November 7th to handle the first of
two Saturdays that are scheduled for our annual leaf
cleanup. There were four 30-cubic-yard dumpsters located at our
maintenance yard for residents to bring their leaves for
disposal for free. As you might imagine, residents used
any method they could to haul their leaves to the yard some in cans and bags, with others tying tarps together to
make a huge haul at once. As the cars and trucks arrived,
they were directed to one of the open containers, and they
were generally unloaded in less than a minute. Some folks
requested that their paper bags be emptied and returned to
them, as they were planning several trips, and re-using the
bags would save a little money. No problem!
The leaves are taken to a yard waste processing facility,
usually owned and operated by the bigger names in lawn
care products, where they are mixed in existing windrows
of grass and yard waste that was collected over the
summer. Windrows are long piles of grass, wood chips,
and any other kind of waste from your yard or garden, and
in late fall, it’s not uncommon to see ground-up pumpkins
and gourds in the piles too. The windrows start out as
piles about six feet high, ten feet wide, and possibly a half
mile long. These piles are where the decomposition of the
material takes place.
SNOW WARNING
FOR PARENTS
Please keep your children off of the snow piles created
by the plow trucks. If the trucks are out plowing
or come back to do clean up, they may not see
children playing behind the snow pile. This creates a
serious safety issue.
Each windrow has a probe inserted to the center of
the pile, where the temperature is closely monitored, and
when a certain temperature is reached, the entire windrow is turned over by a large machine that also grinds the
material too. As the machine travels down the windrow,
sometimes it’s obscured from view by all the steam being released from the warm moist material. The turning
over process is usually done every two to three weeks,
and with each pass of the machine, the piles become
much smaller. By early spring, the piles appear as long
small piles of quality black dirt. The material is screened,
with the finer screenings placed in bags, and with a bit
of fertilizer mixed in, those bags are marketed back to
you as potting soil, humus, or any variety of lawn and
garden products that appear at our garden centers in the
springtime. So now you know where all that stuff comes
from!
Many thanks to all our volunteers, of which we had 16
on the first Saturday. And a giant thank you to Evelyn
Brefeld, Bonnie Marron, and Marge Olson for the great
coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, and brownies too! Thanks
to our younger volunteers who rolled and jumped in
the leaves to pack them down- your talents were much
appreciated! We all had so much fun, we can’t wait for
next year... on second thought, next fall will be here soon
enough...
Thank You to the Leaf
Collection
Volunteers!
A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped
with the leaf collection this year, especially Jim Brefeld
for taking on the responsibility of organizing the event.
Without the volunteers, the leaf collection project would
not take place. Again, thank you to everyone who gave
up one or two of their Saturday mornings. Without the
volunteers, this project (sponsored by Lake Management)
would not happen.
Are you interested in making a difference in your
community? Candlewick needs the good people who
have the best interests of our community at heart to
consider running for the Board of Directors.
Last month’s article mentioned some of the things
that will be required of you. There will be monthly
Board meetings as well as special meetings, retreats
and Board workshops. You will be expected to be a
part of some committees, commissions, road clean-ups
and other activities. To do the job right, you will need
to prepare for meetings with research and have facts
and figures to back up your votes and opinions. Plan
on this being a time consuming job. You will receive
phone calls, emails and in-person questions and comments from the residents. Yes, your votes will anger
some no matter what your position, and that is just part
of the situation you must accept.
On the flip side, you will meet some great people
who work tirelessly to better our way of life. You will
be a part of decision-making that will affect us for
years to come. All our resident’s opinions matter, but it
is on your shoulders to cast the vote.
There will be three seats open for election in the
coming year. Be sure to look further in this issue
of our paper to see the qualifications as well as the
instructions for filing your resume and application.
Please consider this if you are willing to put forth the
effort to be a Board member who will give it your all.
If you want more information, please feel free to call
or email any Board member or the main office. We all
are happy to help.

President’s Prerogative
by Ken Dillenburg, Board President
Since we won’t be “speaking” again until the January
paper, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas now. I
hope we all remember this is more than gifts and gettogethers, it is celebrating the birth of Christ.
This is also the time of year to consider running for the
Board of Directors. Three seats will be up for grabs
this year, and your resumes will need to be in starting
January first, so the time is short for contemplation. If
you have a thick skin and want to make a difference, this
is your chance. Understand if you take this on it is time
consuming, and you will be expected to attend many
meetings as well as being involved in miscellaneous
special projects. There are some good people out there
so give it some thought. You will see information in this
paper.
October 26th, I thought we might be in trouble. Picking
up litter on Caledonia Road is the responsibility of your
Board of Directors. The road was finally mowed the
prior week, so we were able to clean it after being unable
to do so for several months due to the high weeds. The
timing was not great with one Board member on vacation and another under the weather. We put out the call
for help from our community. I believe this was the fastest clean up I have witnessed for Caledonia Road. Lots
of bags of trash but plenty of people to do the job, so it
was great and not a big load on anyone. I can’t thank you
enough. I personally spent only about an hour and fifteen
minutes so it was an easy job.
Continuing along the same vein, volunteers showed
up in droves to man the November leaf drop off. It went
smooth as silk, and this was without a doubt the most
leaves ever dropped off. It just keeps growing, but with
all the help it is actually a good time for all the volunteers. Jim Brefeld did another outstanding job organizing
this project.
As you know, the plan is to do something with the
Outpost since it is an irreparable condition. Plans have
been drawn, and bidding is in process to see what a
feasible construction plan is considering functionality as well as available funding. As I have noted here
before, we do not borrow, so funding will need to be
from available sources. Your Board is also taking a hard
look at the pool houses. They are in need of interior
renovation. Hopefully, a lot of this can be accomplished
in house with our existing crew. Same parameters apply.
We are performing due diligence as a decision is being
made. This is your money, and we must not decimate
our reserves when making these decisions. Your reserves
are currently in good shape and need to stay that way for
future Boards.
Your Board and management are currently in the process of finalizing a budget for the next fiscal year. Many

ON-GOING PROJECTS
1. Implementation Grant – The implementation grant
application has been accepted by the EPA. Of this
$88,000.00 grant, the EPA will cover 60% of the
expenses toward our bio swale project. CWL will
pay 40%. The first request for reimbursement has
been submitted and received. The core Watershed
group continues to meet. There was a meeting
held April 22 at 6:30 to update residents on the
project and to ask for volunteers. The areas have
been marked and maintenance has sprayed twice in
preparation for the plantings. The planting phase
started May 9th and was completed on July 18th.
Tallgrass is contracted for the stewardship on these
areas. They have completed all seven visits for
the year. On 9/16/15, the sub-committee members
toured the bio swales. The second reimbursement
request has been submitted.
2. Lighting Replacement – The lighting at the
Recreation Center will be changed out when the
ComEd rebates are available again. This will result
in better lighting at significant cost savings for many
years to come.
3. Savannah Oaks Golf Course Maintenance
Projects –The sand traps have been “loosened up”
with a rototiller meaning there is no hard-pan. Sand
will be added when ground is frozen if needed.
Tree removal has been moved back on schedule.
The out of bounds markers and ball washers are
all in place and functional. The distance markers
have been purchased and are installed. It has been
challenging to get enough water on the greens and
tees. The greens mowing was increased to 5 times
per week as needed as a result of feedback from
golfers. Aeration and top dressing of the greens were
completed on 10/6 and 10/7.
4. Programs: The programs currently running at the
Rec Center include Fitness Orientation Class (9/14)
(9/24) (10/16) (10/21), Pickleball, Dance Team,
Amenity Usage
New Roofs & Windows Maintenance
If you are changing the color of the shingles on
your house, you need to get the color change approved
Reminders
by Candlewick Lake but a permit is not necessary.
The Rules and Regulations state that a Candlewick Lake
Photo ID Membership Card (Member Card) are required
for use of the amenities (pool, golf course, fitness center,
gymnasium, and boating and fishing facilities). The rules
further state that any Member that is not in good standing
shall have their Membership Card privileges suspended
until said Member rectifies his/her membership standing.
This includes the privileges for all registered Members.
The rules do not say that a Member can’t pay the daily fee
for use of the amenities. The Board of Directors passed
a resolution at the April 21, 2015 Board meeting that any
Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family
members who reside in a House will not be allowed to
pay the daily fee to use the amenities if their amenity
privileges have been suspended. Additionally any Owner,
Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House and are not in good standing
they will not be permitted to rent any of the Candlewick
Lake facilities.
Are You a “Snowbird?”
It is that time of year when many property owners
are getting ready to leave to spend the winter in areas
where the weather is warmer. If you are a “snow bird”
please notify the Administration Office of your winter
address. Our system allows for an alternate address that
we can put in and remove each year. Please take a few
moments to either stop in or contact the Administration
Office at 815-765-2827 ext. 200 to give us your alternate address. This will assure that you are receiving
all Candlewick Lake communications while you are
gone, including the monthly newspaper, annual meeting
notices and information, election ballots, etc. It also
saves the Association a lot of money in postage. When
bulk mail is returned we have to pay the original cost to
send it, 2.47 times the first class rate to get the mail back
and then the cost to resend it.
However, a Boone County Building permit and inspections are required. Please contact the County Building
Department at 815-544-6176 for further information.
Because of changes in the energy code, the County
now also requires a permit for any window change. If
you are changing any window, please contact the Boone
County Building Department. If you change a window
but the size does not change, Candlewick Lake approval
isn’t necessary. However, if the size does change or if
you are changing a window into a door or a door into a
window, you must submit plans for ECC approval.

News
Trick-or-Treating to
Remain on Sundays
In last month’s paper, there was a survey, asking for
your input on which day you would prefer Trick-orTreating, Saturday or Sunday. It has always been on
Sunday afternoons, but a recent request was submitted
to the Board of Directors asking them to change it to
Saturday.
There were 48 responses received with 28 wanting it
to remain on Sunday, 17 wanted it changed to Saturday,
2 didn’t care and 1 asked that Trick-or-Treating be on
Halloween. Some of the comments received were that
too many people work on Saturdays, many communities
Trick-or-Treat on the 31st which is usually a school night,
and some that like it on Sunday. A big concern came
from the mail carriers who submitted a letter signed by
three CWL mail carriers and their subs, asking that it not
be changed to Saturday as they are often still delivering
mail well after 2:00 PM and this could pose a safety
hazard.
Given that the majority of the responses received
wanted Trick-or-Treating to remain on Sunday, the Board
of Directors voted at their November 17, 2015 meeting to
keep it on Sunday.
Rental
Restrictions
The Board of Directors approved capping the number
of houses that can be rented at any given time to 15% and
implemented restrictions. Below are the restrictions for
rental properties:
1. There will be a 15% cap on Houses that can be
subject to Rental Agreements at any given time. This
15% rental cap will be effective October 1, 2015.
2. There will be a “Waiting list” for Rental properties
once the cap has been met.
3. Should a property on the “Waiting List” become
eligible to rent and the Property Owner decides not
to rent, they will be removed from the waiting list.
4. There will be no granting or giving of one properties’
eligibility to another property.
5. If a “Rental” Property should not be rented for a
period of six (6) months then it will no longer be
considered a “Rental” property and will have to go
on the waiting list should they want to rent it in the
future. Property owner does have the right to request
up to a three (3) month extension from the Board of
Directors. Request must be made in writing.
6. If a property owner has multiple rentals, each
property will be considered on an individual basis.
7. There will be a $250.00 fine for failure to register a
rental property. If the rental property has not registered within 30 days of the initial fine, a second fine
in the amount of $500.00 will be issued. Subsequent
fines in the amount of $500.00 will be issued every
30 days until compliance is met. The fine(s) will be
charged for each property not registered.
8. “Hardship” situations will need to be appealed to
the Board of Directors in writing. The Board will
consider these on a case by case basis.
Remove Leaves from
Ditches
With autumn comes the falling of leaves from trees.
Many property owners rake their leaves and dispose of
them. Others choose not to. Although there is no rule
that states leaves must be raked up, there is a rule that
requires the ditches to be clear and unobstructed. If you
have leaves in the ditch in front of your property, please
be reminded that they must be raked and removed from
the ditch. When leaves are left in the ditch, they can be
washed into the culvert which obstructs the water flow or
they end up in the lake which causes problems. To avoid
citations, please rake the leaves from your ditch. The
yard waste pickup is over for the year, so any leaves you
still have will need to be picked up in the spring.

Snow & Ice Control
Procedures
It’s not too early to think about snow and ice
procedures at Candlewick. Many of our members are
commuters and it is important to plan ahead for those
cold icy mornings. Please do not call the gates to tell
them it is snowing, or ask if the snowplows are out.
Please be patient! Maintenance watches the weather
reports and prepares snowplows and ice material prior
to a snow event forecasted. For your convenience we
have outlined the following procedures for snow and ice
control.
When to expect the plows out: Snowplowing does
not begin until there is 2-inches of snow on the ground
and more is expected or when ice begins to make the
roads hazardous. Ice control material is applied to locations on an “as needed” basis.
If the snow reaches 2 inches during the night, it is
more economical to begin snow and ice control between
4:00 AM and 7:00 AM. The plows continue until the
roads are plowed or until 12 midnight when for operator
safety sake they are taken off the roads.
WHEN BLINDING CONDITIONS EXIST, ALL
EQUIPMENT WILL BE PULLED OFF THE ROADS
UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
Road Classifications: There are three classifications
for roads, which help us to determine which roads need
to be plowed first. HIGH VOLUME means HIGH
PRIORITY. With the high volume roads, we consider
the traffic flow, emergency use, and the bus routes.
The HIGH VOLUME roads are the first to be
plowed. These include Candlewick Dr., Candlewick
Blvd., Lamplighter Loop, Galleon Run, and Constitution.
The MODERATE VOLUME roads are the roads
that lead to and from the high volume roads. The
MODERATE VOLUME roads are plowed after the High
Volume roads have been plowed.
Courts, dead ends, cul-de-sacs, and parking lots are
considered LOW VOLUME roads and are plowed last.
Maintenance will try to plow the North parking lot at the
Rec. Center when working on moderate volume roads.
If the snow is heavy, drifting or falling steadily,
Maintenance will continue to keep the high volume
and moderate volume traffic roads open before opening
courts, dead ends, cul-de-sacs, and parking lots.
Do not park on the road during the snow removal
process. Citations will be issued to violators.
Driveways: Do not push snow on to the Roadway!
This creates a very hazardous condition. You are subject
to fines if you deposit material such as snow or ice onto
the roadway.
Maintenance personnel are not authorized to plow
driveways and plows will not be lifted at the entrance
to each individual driveway. Clearance of driveway
entrances is the responsibility of the resident.
Plows may make several passes in order to widen the
roads. “Windrows” are unavoidable.
Mailboxes: The trucks get as close to the mailboxes
as possible, but it is the Homeowner’s responsibility to
keep the area in front of the mailbox cleared for the mail
carrier.
Garbage Totes: Garbage and Recycle totes must be
kept 2 feet off of the roadway. The snow plow drivers
will not get out to move your containers and will not be
responsible for any damage to the tote. You will have to
purchase a new one from Advanced Disposal.
Specific problem areas will be handled as soon as
possible after maintenance has taken care of the overall
situation. If you feel a specific area needs to be addressed, you can call the office with the location.
Residents are asked to check areas along the
roadway and remove any obstruction such as posts
or large rocks that are within 10 feet of the shoulder.
Basketball hoops must be kept off of the roadway.
Maintenance will not be responsible for damage to
basketball hoops if left in the roadway. They should be
at least 10 feet from the road. Property owners are liable
for any equipment damage or injuries caused by any
obstruction of the right-of-way.
When Maintenance is out on the roads, stay a safe
distance behind the trucks. If you cannot see the mirrors
on the trucks, they will not be able to see you. Please be
patient and courteous.
Parents…Please keep your children off of the snow
piles created by the plow trucks. If the trucks are out
plowing or come back to do clean up, they may not see
children playing behind the snow pile. This creates a
serious safety issue.

Protect Your Waters and Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers!
Americans love to spend time on the water. Protecting aquatic resources is
important for all users. The spreading of harmful plants, animals and other
organisms threatens America's water habitats. Aquatic nuisance species hitch
rides on clothing, boats, and items used in the water. When brought to
another lake or stream, the nuisance species may spread.
If conditions are right, these introduced species become established and
cause drastic changes.
Stopping aquatic hitchhikers requires only a few simple procedures. (Details
in the links that follow.)
Simple Preventative Procedures:




Remove any visible mud, plants, fish or animals before transporting equipment
Eliminate water from equipment before transporting
Clean and dry anything that contacted water (boats, trailers, equipment, clothing, dogs, etc.)
Never release plants, fish or animals into a body of water unless they came out of that body of water
Aquatic Hitchhikers Can:










Reduce game fish populations
Ruin boat engines and jam steering equipment
Make lakes/rivers unusable by boaters and swimmers
Increase the costs of operating drinking water and power plants
Complicate dam maintenance and interrupt industrial processes
Reduce native species populations
Degrade ecosystems
Affect human health
Reduce property values
Affect local economies of water-dependent communities
Clarification of Terms:
For the purposes of this campaign and the related materials, Aquatic Hitchhikers are defined as non-native,
harmful aquatic plants, animals or microscopic organisms that can readily be transported to other waters via
popular recreational activities. Different terms will be used interchangeably throughout the campaign to describe
aquatic hitchhikers. These terms include: aquatic nuisance species, ANS, aquatic invasive species and nonnative, harmful aquatic species. Campaign sponsors use these terms to facilitate a better understanding about
the issue and to assist with ease of reading.
Lake News
DID YOU KNOW…
That the money from the cans collected
at the three can bins (Castaway,
Highland Valley Green, and the
Recreation Center Peninsula)
is used for funding projects to
benefit both the lake and the
community. The funds have
been used to help pay for fish
stocking, building fish structures, purchase of a GPS that is used for lake related issues, lake
plantings, waders, laser lights (to chase the geese),
and the Kids Fishing Tournament.
If you have aluminum cans that
you are either throwing away
or putting in the recycling bin,
please consider bagging them
and taking them to one of the can
bins located in Candlewick. The
Friends of Candlewick have recently voted to use
funds from the cans for projects that could either
benefit the lake and/or the community. This is
expanding the scope beyond specific lake use, and
may be used to benefit the entire community where
needed.
Lake Issue Notes
December 2015
From Lake Management / Lake - Water Safety Subcommittee (Pam Cangelosi}
The seasons have changed from fall into winter. The
leaves have dropped and so have the temperatures. Soon
there will be ice on our lake which means it’s time to
think about winter safety on the frozen water.
For our residents that enjoy their winter fishing –
please review the rules for the 2015-2016 Ice Fishing
Season (check the catch and release list and any size
changes).
The wise old owl of Candlewick Lake is asking:
“Please Don’t Pollute.”
The fish of Candlewick Lake wish to remind you that
they live in this lake – a clean lake helps to keep the
resident fish happy and healthy.
Whether you fish near the shoreline or out in the
middle of the lake --- Please Do Not leave any of your
stuff for others to clean up.
Please NO moving any of the picnic tables onto the
lake. Don’t leave your trash on the ice. Don’t put your
trash into the lake.
Thank you to all that act responsibly while enjoying
our parks and lake – have a safe and enjoyable winter
season.

Fishing Regulations
•
A State Fishing license is required for all persons
age 16 and over.
• A Candlewick fishing permit is required for all
residents age 16 and over.
• A guest fishing pass is required for each guest. It
may be a non-designated seasonal or a one day,
both can be purchased at the Administration office
or at the Recreation Center. Guest passes must be
purchased by resident with proof of residency.
• Guest use of the lake is permitted provided that the
property owner is on or within the immediate vicinity of the lake at all times. The immediate vicinity
is defined as the shoreline or a property owner’s
lakefront property. Exceptions will be made when
there are extenuating circumstances, predetermined
by Public Safety that would prevent a property
owner from being with their guest. The property
owner is responsible for contacting Public Safety,
in advance, so that the request may be considered
and logged. The log will be maintained so that an
individual that has an “approved situation” will not
have to call Public Safety every time their guest
wants to use the lake. If Public Safety Staff members or certified volunteers see any pattern of abuse
to this rule exception, it will result in a withdrawal
of the exception privilege for the remainder of the
season/year. When there are extenuating circumstances that prohibit the property owner from being
on or within the immediate vicinity of the lake, the
property owner must still be within Candlewick
Lake. (Policy 09-11)
• All shanties must be marked with name and address
of owner, and cannot be left on the ice overnight
unattended.
• Only 2 lines per person.
• This could include: 2 rods, 1 rod and 1 tip up, or 2

Candlewick Lake. Worms, leeches or dead smelt
may also be used.

Public Safety
A
Message from the Chief ofduring
Public
Safety
the holidays.
by Chief Roland Wood
rww@candlewicklake.org
Greetings from Public Safety
We’re in the holiday season already. It sure got here fast,
so I’ll bet everyone’s very busy. It’s that time of year when
we seem to never have enough time in the day. Please slow
down a little every day and take a few moments to contemplate how our lives are going. Are we being safe during our
busy lives? Are we taking short cuts maybe we shouldn’t?
Are we making good safe decisions for ourselves and our
families? Sometimes a few minutes of reflection can save
hours of frustration. Please have a safe holiday!
Things are going along well in Candlewick Lake. We
appreciate your taking the time to read our article and
think about the safety of our community, your home and
your family. We’ll try to touch on a few safety tips during
the holiday season in this month’s letter.
Lake Patrol
The ice is coming. During the holiday season, the
biggest concern of the Public Safety Department, relative
to our lake, is “thin ice.” By January, the ice covering on
Candlewick Lake is generally thick enough to walk and
ride on. Ice fishing will not be a problem. But until then,
please BEWARE of the thin ice. Educate your kids as
to the dangers of falling through the ice. Please use “Ice
Safety.”
Holiday Safety Tips
The holidays are a time when thieves and con artists are
frequently on the prowl. Here are some tips to help keep
our home, your car, your possessions, and your family
safe:
Keeping Your Home Safe
• We all want our homes to reflect the joy of the season,
but avoid displaying gifts where they can be seen
from a window or doorway.
• Arrange to have packages delivered to a neighbor if
you’re not home to receive them.
• Packages left on porches or doorsteps are “easy
picking” for thieves. It also draws unwanted attention
to your home.
• Consider simple outside decorations. Elaborate or
large lawn pieces are often stolen right out of the
lawn.
• Be sure not to obscure the view from your windows.
You need a clear view of your property.
• Always lock your home’s doors and windows, even if
you’re only gone for a few minutes.
• Compact or dispose of packaging discreetly. Often
criminals will spot something you’ve discarded and
can target you for their next burglary or theft.
• When leaving town, have a trusted friend or neighbor
take care of your home. Consider canceling general
deliveries such as mail, newspapers, and other services
when leaving town or going on vacation.
• Notify the Public Safety Department when you’re
planning an extended absence. We can provide a
vacation watch and extra patrol for your home.
Keeping Your Neighborhood Safe
• First, share these tips with your neighbors. Establish
a network with your neighbors and make a plan for
mutual protection and notification.
• Join our “Neighborhood Watch” program. Visit the
elderly and others in your area that may be isolated
Staying Safe When Shopping
• Always lock your car and close your windows, even
if you’re gone a few moments. When possible, lock
all merchandise or packages in the truck of your car.
Load your packages before departing, not at the next
destination.
• Shop with at least one partner. Have your car or house
key in your hand as you approach the door. If attacked,
use those keys as weapons!
• Stay alert to your surrounding and the people around
you. Look inside your car and around it as you approach.
• Be extra careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse
under your arm. Keep wallets in an inside pocket.
• Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
• Avoid street vendors, many times these hucksters are
selling stolen or unlicensed merchandise.
• Plan your trips. Instead of one big shopping trip,
try several small ones. This will cut down on the
amount of money you carry, the packages you’ll be
encumbered with, and it will make your shopping less
stressful.
• Walk everywhere with a sense of purpose, show you
are calm, confident and know where you are going.
• Park in well-lighted areas that will be well-lighted
when you return.
Keeping Your Credit and Identity Safe
• If you write checks, use only the necessary information, name, address, phone number. Never give your
social security number.
• Safeguard your credit cards and checks as you do cash.
Do not leave them in jacket pockets or sitting out in
restaurants, stores and hotel rooms.
• Keep your purse or wallet on you. Shoulder straps
should cross your body, not dangle from your shoulder. Do not lay purses in a shopping basket. Be sure
they are closed securely.
• Make a list of all your credit cards, debit cards and
checks with account numbers. Keep the list in a secure
place at home.
• Notify issuers immediately if your card is lost, stolen
or misused.
• Take your time when making a purchase. Be sure you
collect your license, credit card, checkbook and your
receipt.
• Keep your receipts and reconcile your statement.
Promptly report any discrepancies to the issuer.
• Consider direct deposit of your payroll or benefit
checks; it’s safe and convenient and prevents the theft
of your checks.
ABOVE ALL, IF YOU ARE VICTIMIZED, REPORT IT
TO POLICE IMMEDIATELY.
Merry Christmas
From all of us in your Public Safety Department, we would
like to wish all of you; a very Merry Christmas and a safe
and Happy New Year. Please take the time and trouble to
be safe during this holiday season. While remembering
what this Holiday is all about, please be thankful for those
servicemen who are serving far away from home and
cannot be here for the holiday season.
Let’s keep Candlewick Lake a beautiful, safe place to
live.

Number: Contact
Office with Change
If you have recently moved, please take a few minutes
to contact the Administration Office to give us your new
address. Many mailings done by the Association are sent
out bulk mail. Unfortunately, the post office will not
forward bulk mail, but will instead return it at a considerable fee. We are charged about $4.00 to receive the CWL
News back.
If you have disconnected your house phone (land line)
and are only using cell phones chances are the Office does
not have your current number. The Association has no
way of contacting you in an emergency situation. The
same is true if you change your phone number.

for details. An account is considered delinquent if payment of dues in full or an ACH is not
processed by May 1st.
ACH – EXISTING SETUP
NEW ACH AMOUNT BEGINNING MAY 1ST
What do I need to do? If you have a current ACH in place, you consent to the new
amount, and there are no changes required then you need to do nothing! Again, if you
had an ACH processed in March, we will process the next payment in May unless otherwise
directed by you. Your Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization Agreement is for the withdrawal of funds in payment of the current Candlewick Lake Association Dues Assessments,
Road Trust/Long Term Capital Funding, and accumulated interest. We will begin taking
out the upcoming year’s (2015-2016 Fiscal Year) assessments in May, at which time the
monthly payment will increase. If you do not consent to the increase and/or would like to
pay in full, you must notify us in writing on or before April 18, 2015. Unless we receive
such a request, your current ACH Agreement will continue with your consent to the new
current year’s monthly assessment. Attach a voided check to a completed Electronic Fund
Transfer Agreement if you want to utilize a new bank account. Forms must be received
in the Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 18, 2015. Your account is automatically
debited on the first business day of each month beginning May 1, 2015.
ACH – NEW SETUP
What do I need to do? If you need to start an ACH for the first time, then complete the
ACH form, attach a voided check and return it to the Candlewick Lake Association Office.
Forms must be received in the Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 18, 2015. Your
account is automatically debited on the first business day of each month beginning May 1,
2015. Return ACH forms to the following address:
Candlewick Lake Association Office, 13400 Highway 76, Poplar Grove, IL 61065
Online Payment Via eCheck or Credit Card
You can set up a one-time payment using an eCheck or credit card. There is a $14.95
convenience fee if you pay via a credit card. There is no charge for eChecks, however you
will have to register as a smartstreet user.
• What do I need to do? Simply follow the directions below:
Log in to www.candlewick-lake.org or www.smartstreet.com.
• Select “Online Payments.”
• Choose “Pay as a Guest” for credit card payments or “Sign In or Register” for one time
eCheck payments.
• Select your homeowner’s association and follow the instructions on the screen.
Pay in Full at the Association Office in Person or by US Mail
Return your invoice and a check made payable to Candlewick Lake Association to the
following address:
Candlewick Lake Association, 13400 Highway 76, Poplar Grove, IL 61065
When paying by check, please write your unit and lot number on the check. You can also
drop your payment in our drop box located in front of the Administration Office during or
after hours. Your cashed check will serve as your receipt. Please do NOT drop cash.
NO CREDIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE ADMINISTRATION
OFFICE.
Important
Notice
In order to more efficiently handle your checks, we have elected to use a check scanner to
process your checks in the office. This will turn your paper check into an electronic check
transaction. You will not receive your paper check back in your statement. The payment
will be reflected as an electronic transaction on your banking statement and can clear as
soon as the same day we receive your payment.

audience is anyone, of any age, who has an interest in reading. Reading is
something which needs to be encouraged and nourished. It has been suggested
that parents spend 30 minutes per day reading to and/or with their child. So

qualifies, please contact the Administration Office immediately.
Failure to do so may result in further monetary penalties as outlined under the
approved change.
The fifteen percent (15%) rental cap has been reached. If you wish to rent your
home and it was not previously identified and registered as a rental property, you
will be put on a waiting list until we fall below the rental cap. Please contact the
Administration Office with any questions regarding rental properties.

6.)The CWL website was discussed and will be up by the end of
the month.
NEW BUSINESS
1.)A list of bad debt write-offs in the amount of $13,473.38
which consisted of 4 properties and were banks only paying back
six months was reviewed. Lutzow made a motion to approve
writing off the bad debt, seconded by Parisi. Motion carried 5/0
by a roll call vote with all voting aye. Accounting adjustments
in the amount of $59.83 was reviewed and consisted of applied

vote with all voting aye.
3.)Resolution 15-R-32 for the purchase and installation windows

4.)The Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was tabled.
5.)A memo regarding gate access for repossession companies
was read by Lambright. Repo companies have been allowed into
CWL provided they were escorted by the Sheriff’s Department.
The Sheriff’s Department only requires that repo companies
provided paperwork in case they get a call that the property was
stolen. They feel their resources are better used in other ways
than having to escort repo companies in to CWL and have asked
that we come up with a different process. The State’s Attorney’s
office has said it is our choice if we want to allow them in. Parisi
stated we should have a court order. Wood explained we are a
gated community and the property owners have a right to privacy
but do not have the right to not pay their bills; basically these
would be auto repossessors. Discussion was held on how this
issue is currently handled. It was the consensus of the Board that
as long as CWL gets notification from the Sheriff’s Department
that they have received proper documentation from the repossessors, they will be allowed into CWL. There were property
owner comments and questions. Witt made a motion, seconded
by Lutzow to allow repossession companies into CWL with
the proper notification from the Sheriff’s Department. Motion
carried unanimously.
6.)Budget meetings were discussed and the next meeting will be
held on 11/11/15 at 6:30 PM at the Administration Office. The
meeting will be to discuss wish list items.

J.U.L.I.E. Frequently Asked Questions
These frequently asked questions were taken from the
J.U.L.I.E. website at www.illinois1call.com.
Do I have to call JULIE, Inc.?
Yes. Illinois state law requires that anyone planning an
outdoor project that requires digging, regardless of the
depth or the size of the project, must call JULIE first.
Is JULIE, Inc. a utility company and/or government
agency?
No. JULIE is a not-for-profit corporation. JULIE does not
own or mark any underground lines. The organization’s
mission is to prevent damages to underground utilities,
the environment and property, reduce service interruptions and costly repairs, and save lives.
How much does it cost to use JULIE, Inc.?
The call to JULIE and the locating service provided by
utility members are free to homeowners and excavators.
When is the Call Center open?
Call Center operators are available 24 hours a day, 365
days per year.
Will JULIE, Inc. tell me the specific location or depth
of the public utilities?
No. JULIE does not have information on the specific
location or depth of underground lines.
If I am the subcontractor on a job, do I have to get a
locate request ticket or will the general contractor’s
ticket protect me?
According to state law, the person doing the digging is
required to call JULIE with the locate request information
at least 48 hours/two working days in advance of the start
of the excavation, not the homeowner or company for
whom the work is being done. The general contractor’s
locate request only applies to its company. The general
contractor should only request a locate if the general
contractor itself is planning to dig at the site.
When should I pre-mark the work site?
If the excavation site cannot be clearly and adequately
identified through the locate request, JULIE recommends
that the excavator designate the route or area to be excavated using white paint, flags, stakes or a combination of
these methods prior to contacting JULIE. Black may be
used when snow is on the ground.
May I dig after the 48-hour advance notice?
State law requires that the excavator exercise due care at
all times to protect underground utility lines and CATS
lines. If, after waiting the required 48 hours, the excavator observes clear evidence that there is an unmarked
utility or CATS line in the area of the proposed excavation, the excavator should not begin excavating until two
(2) hours after an additional call is made to the Statewide
One-Call Notice System for the area.
What are the excavator’s responsibilities while digging?
The excavator has an obligation to honor all time/
marking requirements and then to dig in a reasonable
Ad Disclaimer
and prudent manner, taking all reasonable and required
precautions to avoid damaging underground lines. It is
recommended that you follow current industry practices,
such as hand digging and/or vacuum excavation within
18 inches on either side of a marked underground line.
I have hit an underground line - what do I do now?
First, if you have created a potentially dangerous situation (i.e., damaged gas line, etc.), evacuate the area
and immediately call 911 and/or the proper emergency
responders. State law requires the excavator call JULIE
and the owner of the damaged utility.
How long do I have to wait after calling in an emergency locate request?
An emergency locate request call is processed immediately by the JULIE system. According to state law,
excavators must wait at least two hours (or until the date
and time requested on the notice, whichever is longer)
before digging. Are all underground line owners
members of JULIE, Inc.?
While all underground line owners and operators (except
for the Illinois Department of Transportation, rural
electric cooperatives and railroads) are required by state
law to be members of JULIE, Inc., there may be some
line owners and operators who are not current members.
Non-members can be reported to the Illinois Commerce
Commission at 217-558-4010 (see Suspected Violations/
ICC Administrative Penalty Program).
We reserve the right to refuse any advertisement, photo or article.

Meeting Minutes
President’s Prerogative continued from page 3
of the “wish list” items had to go by the wayside in the
process. We must focus on needs rather than wants to use
your money wisely. We hope to have the final draft by
mid December. There will of course be a public hearing
on the budget before the final board vote.
You may have noticed the attractive black lamp posts
installed at our entrances. If you look closely, directly
under the top fixture a camera is visible. These are our
surveillance cameras, and they look much nicer than
sticking on top of a pole. They are much more inviting to
our visitors as well as more attractive for our residents.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors will be in full swing
again this year. Some families are in need, and what better time of year to open your heart and help with presents
for kids or food for a Christmas meal. Candlewick has
always risen to the occasion for this project. I know
some families will have a much more joyous Christmas
due to your kindness.
I will leave you with this appropriate quote by an
unknown source... “Love is what’s in the room with you
at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”

the handicapped dock and setting aside money for potential repairs
to the Weed Harvester.

of disposal.
4. Fish Shocking- There were not as many bass as there have been
in years past. Twice as many bluegill as last year. Northern pike
are thinner than expected, but this is not a concern. There were
a lot of yellow perch, which shows that there has been spawning
success. Discussion on whether limits should be placed on bass to
preserve the population. There is potential of doing a shocking in
the spring of 2016.
5. Fish Stocking- a vote was taken on which fish to stock for
2015. Details under New Business.

(about $3400.) to order 1100 smallmouth bass and 2200 walleye.
Motion by Bob McHoes, seconded by Tom Pinkowski, Sr.

Garbage Company
Proper Disposal
Information
Normal household trash must be put out in sealed
containers. Bags set next to the toter are prohibited and
citations will be issued to those violating the rules. If you
need an additional toter, please contact Advanced Disposal
at 815-874-8431. If you only occasionally have an additional bag of garbage that doesn’t fit in your toter, you may
put it in a regular garbage can.
You are required to have your garbage at the curb by 6:00
AM on the day of collection. To avoid being missed, please
be sure to have your garbage out by 6:00 AM.
An electronic recycling drop-off site is located at the
Boone County Highway Department.
Hazardous waste materials (paints, paint thinner, oil, etc.)
can be taken to the Rock River Water Reclamation District
located at 3333 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford. Their
hours are Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays
from noon to 4:00 PM. You can call 815-387-7510 to get
a complete list of what is accepted and what is not. Things
they don’t accept are compressed gas, explosives and
radioactive material.
Tires (except tractor tires) may be taken, up to four at a
time, to Rock River Water Reclamation District.
Sharps (used syringes, needles and other medical equipment) should not be disposed of in your household trash
or recycling as this poses a significant health risk to waste
haulers. Anyone working in the trash handling industry can
unexpectedly come in contact with these materials and is in
danger of accidentally puncturing themselves and be at risk
of contracting any number of diseases – including Hepatitis
B and HIV – from contaminated syringes. Most pharmacies
offer a free sharps collection program. You can pick up a
sharps container at no charge; once your container is full,
you can exchange it for a new container. This free service
is a simple solution for the safe disposal of SHARPS.

every week, you are allowed to put out one extra “household
item” with your normal garbage.
Please make sure that your garbage is placed off the
roadway and shoulder and is secured.
